Agency: Health

Line Item: Traumatic Head and Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation Fund

Function

The Traumatic Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Rehabilitation Fund receives funds from appropriations from the Legislature, gifts, and a portion of impound fees to assist charitable clinics providing rehabilitation services for the post-acute-care of people with traumatic spinal cord and brain injuries. The Traumatic Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Rehabilitation Fund Advisory Committee oversees the funds going to charitable clinics to provide: (a) physical, occupational, and speech therapy; and (b) equipment necessary for daily living activities for people with spinal cord and brain injuries as well as all actual and necessary operating expenses for the advisory committee and staff. Because the fund is an expendable special revenue fund, the agency does not need an appropriation to spend money in the fund.

Statutory Authority

UCA 26-54 establishes the Traumatic Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Rehabilitation Fund and directs that the Fund can spend all revenues without additional Legislative action.
